A separator apparatus and method are disclosed. The separator apparatus comprises: an inlet operable to receive an effluent stream comprising a fluid and particles; a centrifugal separator comprising a radial fan and a centrifugal particle separator operable to separate at least some of the particles from the fluid; a fluid outlet for providing the fluid; and a particle outlet for providing the particles separated from the fluid. In this way, particles may be removed effectively from the fluid in the effluent stream without the need for an inconvenient electrostatic precipitator or other large particle separator. Instead, the apparatus provides for improved particle capture and removal within a smaller footprint. This provides for a more efficient and compact device.
